Okay, so I’m really frustrated with myself for having so much going on at the same time and taking such a long break from blogging because it also caused me to miss out on the family reunion this past July, that I was SO looking forward to attending!

But anyway, what I would like to know is if any one of you reading this were able to attend the Petry Family Reunion in Houston this year could you please do me the favor of passing on any info that was distributed on that weekend??? Any t-shirts…programs…WHATEVER you have!!! I would REALLY appreciate it!!! =P (please excuse the begging LOL)

Please note that I have yet to cite any sources for any of the information I have supplied…which also means that there is a chance that some of it may be incorrect (though that’s the exception, not the rule).

At the moment I am simply trying to input whatever data I have collected from speaking with family members, internet searches, and forum queries into my blog.

Eventually, I am going to create posts listing my sources. I will go person by person and family by family, so that I can be as accurate as possible.

Since research can be tedious and exhausting, there is a possibility that it may take a little while…

I made a post about getting a cousin’s phone call awhile back (I enjoyed talking to him and I was really grateful for his call also, but it got me to thinking about online privacy issues), and I stated that I was going to email ancestry and genealogy.com to try and have my real name taken off of my messageboard posts.
